I very much like your print. It almost is having me run down to the pier and boarding the Muskegon bound ferry. I get the impression that a longer than normal focal length may have been used and that the camera was handheld...or perhaps that negative was heavily cropped. I am not referring to cropping the top or bottom. I get the impression that the camera was handheld. Certainly there is much ease in making a mistaken guess. I beleive that a big, fat heavy tripod should always be used unless not using one would make the photo better.

Your print might benefit from perhaps an additional 25% exposure along the righthand edge being feathered to nothing over approximately 30% the prints width inward towards the left.

Hopeful am I to see more of your nice work.

Claire: the photograph was taken with a 150mm lens, and the negative was heavily cropped. Neither the sky nor the foreground added anything to the photograph, and in fact would have diluted the strength of the horizontal lines.

The camera was on a big, fat, but not so heavy tripod. I am interested in knowing what gives you the impression that the camera was handheld.

Excellent Dan!

Firstly, I think the cropping is just fine...no criticism intended in any way. Secondly, as far as being handheld all I am looking at is the result of a scan. It appeared to me to be less than the finest sharpness that a Hasselblad is capable of producing.

Keep up the nice work.

Excellent!

yup, love it.

Great stuff Dan.

Great shot, ideal for my XPAN.
